TOBACCO-PIPE.

. Application filedliovember 8, 1910, Serial No.

To all whom z'tmay concern Be it known that I, SELIM W. Gurus, a citizen of the United States, and a resldent of Feedin Hills, in'the county of Hampden and tate of Massachusetts, have mvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, off which the'following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. This invention relates-to improvements 1n tobacco pipes. The 'primary- 'object of my invention is-to provide atobacco pipe, the bowl of which is in communication with a magazine. j

Another object is to provide a obacco; pipe so constructed that the tobaocomay befed from the magazine into'the bowl from: below. I

A further object is to provide a tobacco pipe' with a magazine, 'a' removable shield, a drain plug, and means so that the tobacco may be fed from the magazine into the bowl- With'thesfe and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the- .combination and arrangement "of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and par-' ticularly pointed out in'the appended claims, it being understood' that changes in the specific structure shown and described maybe madeLwithin the scope of ,the claims,fwithout departing from; the spirit ofthe inven-- tion.

In the drawings forming a part'ofthis' specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in theTSBV-L.

eral views :Figure 1, shows a side elevatlonal view of a magazine pipe constructed according to my lnvention. Fig. 2, shows a a central sectional view of the pipe. Fig. 3,

shows a bottom view of the pipe with the magazine open. 'Eig. 4, shows a detached detail of the plunger... Fig. 5, is a section on line 5 of l igf '2i Fig. 6,'is a detail of the shield. v

The aimof my invention is to provide a tobacco pipe, especially adapted to be used by soldiers, sportsmen and others, so constructed that the, pipe while lighted can be charged with a fresh supply of tobacco from a connected magazine, the tobacco entering the pipe bowl from below.

mid-way at the bowl. vlded wit-h a seat, 26, withinwhich isre-" movably held the shield, 7 said shield'hav mg the draft aperture, Q, the draft opening 6. The bottom, 25, of'the; bowl drains-toward an'opening, 10, leading {into a cup, =12, this cup, 11,-being arranged .to receive bodying my invention. As shown,the pipe Patented Apr. 8, 1913. Renewed August 29, 1912. Serial No. 717,790.

' is provided with a magazine, '4, positioned below the stem, 2, this magazine by means of a discharge opening, 9, communicating with the bottom of the pipe bowl. As clearly shown in Fig. 2, the pipe ste 1s provlded with a smoke duct,which is contlnued upwardly, as shown at 5, and then laterally, as disclosed at, 6, so that the draft openm communicating with the pipe stem enters t e pipe bowl 3,. approximately The bowl is proregistering with 11, closed by means of the screw,

the nicoti-n that may drain into the pipe Y bowl. The magazine, 4, at one end supports the screw, 13,- this screw in turn piv p at union with the shoulder, 29, of the magazine shown in Flg. 2, this cap plate 'isfurther provided with an inwardly directed head, 20, arranged to work over the edgefof the magazine 4, so that the cap plate, 16, can

i only be openedafter the bead, 20, hasbeen forced from below the magazine edge. By

this means the cap plate cannot become casually 'or"'acc1dentally displaced. Communicating with the magazine, '4, is a'slot, 15, through which extends the finger piece, 23,

1otally holding the cap plate, 16, which coviers the magazine, 4; the end of this cap 0 projecting from the-plunger, 22, arranged to reciprocate within the magazine. The operation 'ofa pipe constructed according to my invention is very-simple. In the use of a pipe the operator would first shove the plunger 22, into its farthest rearward position, and then charge the magazine, securely closing the 0gp plate. The bowl of the pipe would then be charged with tobacco and the smoking operation would then be begun. After the tobacco has been consumed to a point opposite the aperture, 8, in order to continue the smoking operation, the smoker would raise the shield, 7, to'cover the escape opening, 9. -The plunger, 22, would then be forced forward, so that a part of the tobacco, within the magazine, 4, would be forced into the pipe bowl, the level of the tobacco then, of course, being raised within the bowl of the pipe.

In pipes as ordinarily constructed, the tobacco at the extreme bottom of the bowl is usually moist, and the smoker seldom consumes the same. In'my invention, however, but half of the tobacco within the bowl can be consumed without requiring that the pipe bowl be recharged. By means of the undertobacco as well as the feed the slightly moist tobacco is carried upward to be consumed, while a fresh supply is introduced into the bottom of the pipe bowl. This is a great thing, in that the 1pipe is kept sweet As shown in Fig. 2, t e bottom, 25, of the pipe bowl turns toward the opening, 10.

t is, of course, understood that ipes embodying my invention may be ma e in various sizes, and of various materials, and that the magazine, 4, maybe given any desired capacity within certain limits.

A pipe constructed according to my invention is comparatively inexpensive, and both durable and eficient in operation, and

the plunger and shield may be easily operated, while the magazine can be readily re-charged.

Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to sepreviously in the bottom of the bowl being thereby moved upwardly above the smoke duct of the stem so as to be consumed in theusual manner.

2. A tobacco. ipe including a bowl, a stem formed wit a smoke duct communieating with the bowl at an intermediate point between the top and bottom thereof, a magazine arranged under the stem and communlcatingwith the bottom of the bowl, the

said magazine having a slot 11 one side thereof, a movable closure forone side of the magazine, a plunger mounted within the magazine, and a fin er piece carried by the plunger and projecting through the before mentioned slot, the said 'plunger euabling tobacco within the magazine to be forced into .the bottom of the bowl, thereby moving that tobacco which was previously in the bottom of thef -bowlupwardly above the smoke duct of the stem so that it will be consumed in the usual manner.

3. As a newarticle of manufacture a pipe including a stem and connected bowl, said stem entering said bowl a suitable distance above the bottom thereof, said bowl being in communication with a magazine and provided with a seat, a shield removable within 'said seat, closing the escape opening between said magazine and bowl, said magazine having an olfset shoulder, a cap plate covering said magazine arranged to lock wi h said ofi'set shoulder, said magazine having a slot, and a plunger within said magazine having a finger piece extending through said slot, all arranged substantially. as and for the purpose set forth.
